CSA Week 14

[fbphotos id=503823953039536]

It’s so good to be back after my week off! I had a great time frolicking in the woods and re-charing my batteries with friends and community. I want to send a HUGE thank-you out to Russell, Rod, Neils, Ingrid and her three kids and Barb Toombs for helping out at the farm this week. And of course, an enormous warm fuzzy hug to Arzeena for being my farm buddy and making life richer.

People are starting to ask when the CSA program ends. Happily, we can tell you, there are still 6 weeks left after this one! You can look forward to more tomatoes, salad greens, summer and winter squash and there are beans, potatoes, carrots and beets still growing in our fields. You’ll still find lots of weekly goodness until mid-October.

* What is tah tsai? It’s a delicious green that slightly resembles baby bok choi. It’s beautiful dark green spade shaped leaves are tender like spinach with a slight hint of mustard zing! Use it in stir fries, sautees, or raw in salads.
